Research interest / current research work
My PhD work is focused on understanding the role of inhibition in the inferior colliculus (IC) after noise exposure. I am interested in characterizing the fate of transplanted embryonic medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) cells in the IC as a means to increase inhibition in naïve and noise-exposed mice.

Research interest / current research work
I’m interested in using novel technologies to probe the neural circuits underlying psychiatric illnesses. Most recently, using in vivo calcium imaging and optogenetics to dissect the contributions of subpopulations of striatal neurons in generating compulsive behaviors and in a mouse model with relevance to OCD.

I expand the genetic code so we can control how proteins work using light and using designer small molecule triggers. I also apply similar tools to nucleic acids.
Field of clinical interest
